Our stay in Chania was the most memorable part of our two week trip to Greece and this hotel was part of that amazing experience! We had a clean, beautiful room with a port view in front and were able to step right into the alleys and excitement when we walked out the back. Breakfast was amazing and just a few short steps down a pretty alley from this hotel. Staff was all helpful and friendly. I would 100% recommend staying here! ♥️

Stayed at this hotel in late September on our return from a stay on the south coast. Great location overlooking the Venetian harbour in the old town. We booked a deluxe room with balcony and sea view, I feel we had one the smaller versions of this room grade (called Lord) after inspecting the photos on the hotel website. The room was a little jaded but the bed was large & comfortable, clearly the room has a high occupation rate and it shows. Given that it promotes itself as a 'boutique' hotel we found very few 'boutique' features - maybe the bathrobes help to qualify its 'boutique' status? Sadly 'boutique' is a very over-used and miss-used word these days, perhaps 'shabby chic' would be a more fitting description. The room had a small coffee machine but only 2 coffee pods and no milk or coffee whitener. The young man who checked us in provided a small jug of fresh milk and was apologetic about the amount of coffee pods supplied adding that it was company policy not to offer more than 2 and added that the hospitality tray would not be refreshed during our 2 day stay - not very 'boutique'! The bathroom desperately needs a refurbishment. Black grouting in the shower base suggests a poor cleaning regime along with mould in the toothbrush beaker, yuk! Towel rail fell apart when I put the towels on it!, is this 'boutique'? Reception desk was manned by staff whose attitudes ranged from not bothered to helpful.
Mould in toothbrush mug, glad I looked before using!
Poor maintenance
Coffee pods limited to 2 only for a 2 night stay!

Hotel didn't fulfil our request for the arrangements of the beds even though we asked for well in advance. And they didn't communicate about this. They also didnt do anything to compensate this. The hotel personel was kind and helpful. But the hotel management was just ignorant.

Lovely room with the most incredible views from the balcony. Considering how loud and busy the harbour is the sound proofing muffled it well, but I’d still recommend ear plugs for sleeping. Breakfast is a short walk away and has a nice buffet with absolutely lovely staff. The front desk is a few doors up at the sister hotel, and again the staff are very helpful and welcoming. Housekeeping was superb, do remember to pop a sign on the door so they know you’re ready for the room to be serviced. Be warned that the stairs are wooden and lots of them given the age and nature of the building! So many amazing places to eat so very close by, and a little supermarket just round the corner. There’s noise in the morning when all the delivery vans arrive for the waterfront businesses, but not too early- you’ll be up anyway looking at the sun on the gorgeous harbour from the balcony!

Property was clean and accessible to old town Chania. It is a great location and the view of the harbor was wonderful. We were in the "Duke" room which was more spacious than the "Lord" room my son rented. There is no elevator at the property, You must climb stairs and if you rent a car there is no parking associated with the property. Street parking is crowded and limited

Great choice for old town Chania Harbor stay.

Great place to stay on the old town harbor front. Everything was great, and even though we arrived late, they came back to check us in. Hot showers, comfy bed, and a balcony to watch the people on the harbor. We would certainly recommend to anyone looking for a great place to stay. There is no parking close, but a garage and street parking is a few blocks away.

Excellent stay with a wonderful view of the harbor. The breakfast is typical American & Mediterranean type. The terrace is good but the best view is from the balcony. Please be aware that there is no parking at the hotel and you must walk in from where the taxi drops you off… 100 yards.
